This discussion dovetails with something I asked here about a year ago; I recall that we never came up with a satisfactory answer. Every military vehicle, be it on exercise, in combat, or in war footage has the exterior of the vehicle practically covered with personal gear, food, extra water, etc. What sort of AV would this kind of stuff make (if only temporary...). I would think it might at least break up a plasma jet from a HEAT round.
